Just picked up the latest three (Dornier D.I, A-W F.K.3, and Rumpler
D.I), but just thought the list might like to know what the next up
minis are:
Ansaldo Baby
WWI Italian Markings
Airco DH6.
So, a resounding cheer from those of us who like Italian subjects.
Happy modelling

Message-ID: <35982B3C.7F99@czechia.com>
Hi all,
several modelers on the list might be interested that long awaited Toko Nieuport 11 finally landed here.
The kit comes in well-known light cardboard box with cover art depicting A. Kazakov's Nieuport dogfighting
German Albatri D.II.
Two sprues molded in light grey styrene, very little flash, 42 parts. The fabric effect on the wings and
fuselage surfaces is very subtle. 9-cylinder 'Le Rhone' rotary is a little crude and engine cowling is too
thick for the scale. Cockpit parts include seat, stick and side steering rod (literally - no pedals). Armament
consists of finely molded Lewis gun with barrel jacket similar to that fitted on Airco D.H.2 (I'm writing this
while not at home so I can't tell from the top of my head if this is correct) and eight Le Prieur rockets.
Decals provided for five versions:
1. Nie.11C1 #315 'Le Vieux Charles', G. Guynemer, 3eme Escadrille, March 1916
2. Nie.11C1, Alexander Kazakov, XIX. Air Division ('Skull and Crossbones' insignia), August 1916
3. Nie.11C1, 'Alexander Nevskyi', Evgraf Kruten, 2nd Army Air Division, August 1916
4. Nie.11C1, Ukrainian 1st Air Regiment, February 1919
5. Nie.16C1, #131 'Dice', C. Johnson, Escadrille Lafayette, summer 1917
Toko 1/72 Nie.11/16 (approx. size in mm)
1:1 1:72 model
wingspan
top wing 752 10.44 10.2
bottom wing 740 10.27 9.7
length 564 7.83 8.1
Now I have to figure out which one to build (or two...or three...)
Cheers!

Greatings Fellow List Members,
I wish to extend my appologies for posting, to the list, a message that
was meant for offlist communication. Since I am now also taking up bandwidth
posting a second e-mail, I might as well introduce myself.
My name is Bill Bailey and reside in the Denver, Colorado, USA area. I
Build predominently 1/72 scale in plastic, and a lot larger in flyable models,
both freeflight and radio control. The 1/72 aircraft are used in recreating
the dogfighting of the Great War at our local wargames club. Perhaps some of
you have seen the pictures on the links to the Blue Max Page and links to pics
on the Roll Models web page of some of the club games.
Since joining the list in May, I have enjoyed it greatly and the people
I have corresponded with have been invaluably helpful.
Now if those who respond in return could also include some hints on
locating the FAQ and other group links with their oppening bursts perhaps I
can take back some valuable recon to my aerodrome. Thanks for any flaming in
advance...it will let me know I am at least flying somewhere near the front.
Thanks, Bill

So, anybody willing to send me one COD - or something we can trade? Like

However. This is a comment unworthy of you. Granted that the Snipe
fuselage is overlength, *none* of the kits has any *serious* error in
comparison to any other reasonably mainstream WW1 kit on the market. The
comment above makes Toko seem utterly slipshod, when in fact they are
producing models which may actually regain 1/72 some adherents.
FWIW reading a para further through Ivans post, and taking my calculator
in hand, the scale error is about 2 inches in span - which is near
enough to 2% out IF AND ONLY IF the 1:1 span quoted was measured the
same way Ivan measured the kit. Near enough for me.
>Crap, I'm thinking too much again. Gimmegimmegimme...

I agree. Sorry for my "excitedness" I should have thought this one
through. Yes, Toko is doing (pardon my language) one hell of a job, so I
should not be that hard on them. Again, apologies to the list.
(However, one error I consider serious is the small span of the SSW D.III
top wing. Then again, everyone in 1/72nd has this wrong, so there's
that.)

Shane,
I recall your posting on influence of dihedral on wingspan in plane view
- I hope this makes sense in English :)
1. 1:1 dimensions were taken from kit instruction sheet
2. I measured the span with school lineal (nothing better here) like this
Overall length was figured by suming the dimensions of propeller
centre minus hole in it + propeller shaft + fuselage from engine firewall
to the rudder hinge + rudder from hinge to the end of it

Which is as good a method as we can hope to have.
It helps ilustrate my point though -
Unless we *know* how the 1:1 measurements were derived or whether the
scale drawings are "correct" we can't ever be certain which is
**right**, the model or the plan/quoted dimensions.
So a 2% "error" may in fact be in the drawing, not the model. In
engineering terms we are worrying about an error smaller than the
tolerance of our measuring system. Life is short. we should all enjoy
ourselves and only worry about gross errors, inaccurate shapes and crude
detail. Or not, as our own enthusiasms dictate.
Soapbox mode off.
Thanks for the review Ivan. Wish the A$ made buying a couple a sensible
proposition

>> assembly next week Hoorah!
>Isn't this one of the signs of the Apocalypse?
Yes. I've started piling kits neatly into empty 44 gallon fuel drums
which I intend to seal and use as a raft. After the floods I'll still be
able to make as much progress on them as I do now, even without glue and
Exacto knives :-(
>> jf Pegasus Halb Cl.II Used kit decals. Pretty aircraft. Photos
soon
>How did you match the red to the decals?
Buy one can each of every red Humbrol makes. See which one is closest
(one is a pretty close match, ask again tomorrow after I look it up).
Apply decals first, then paint, overpainting the edge over the edge of
the decal to produce a gradual colour change (airbrushed BTW).
Join shows anyway. Curse. Overpaint as much of the decal as possible
with the paint. Still shows. Curse loudly. Realise that the paint and
the decal have different degree of glossiness. Coat both with future.
Now it's okay. Hit self with heavy objects. Make resolution to stop
modelling marathons which end at 3am in (usually) futile attempt to meet
deadline for some contest.

Great! The whole topic of Italian markings is under reported, at least
as far as I know. Once you get past underwing markings, not a whole lot out
there, unless it may be squirreled away in old C&C stuff.

Time for some help.....again. I want to build the Revel kit in 1/32
(1/28??) as my annual Christmas present for my friend. The kit looks pretty
good, and I don't plan on any big changes, other than adding the screens
near the lower cowling. In going through my stuff, I couldn't find any good
pictures of Baracca's SPAD 13 in 5 color camo. Any pictures or perhaps
drawings(hint, hint). Did the Italian SPAD use the same pattern as the
French? If so, would the big Blackfoot on the upper right wing be
appropriate?
TIA

I realize I'm probably preaching to the choir here....
While looking through my meager collection on windsock magazines (all that a
hobby shop in Portland Or had...) I noticed a great article with tons of
photos in Windsock Intl. Vol.10, No.6 Nov/Dec 1994 (page 29). Not having this
kit, I didn't pay much attention to the thread on list over the past few days.
If anyone out there does not have this issue, I could probably scan it (5 pages)
and email it to you...
Just thought I would offer....

Patrick, would like to know how good is the kit's general outlines against
the DF drawings and
if everything is resin. Is it worth the money?
